Based on the audience in NYC, I don't think gay guys are interested in the Shins. Their audience populated almost entirely by straight 20 year olds wearing bad 80's clothes.
You might have better luck getting the gayboys to see the Old 97's. Just show them a picture of Rhett.

I can see how it would be a challenge to corral 51 gay men…

Back to the topic of Ted Leo… The Black Cat's webpage says:
SAT DEC 13- TED LEO/THE PHARMACISTS, THE JOGGERS, THE DEEP SIX (DC Food Not Bombs Blanket Drive will be accepting donations of blankets, pillows, and toiletries)
If you're feeling generous, bring a blanket or something. Or some of your favorite soaps.

I thought the Joggers were okay. Not good, not bad. Okay, a little more 'bad' than 'good.' Interesting, though, with their Whiffenpoof-type harmonic vocal stylings. What the hell, have a drink upstairs instead of down…

If there was a book on odd characters, I do believe an entire chapter would be devoted to each of us. Bagster is right at home. ;)

I thought it was really short as well but I was kinda drunk so I wasn't sure - there were a ton of other great songs he could have played
but what a bargain -$10 in and $10 Cds

Weird War suck so wildly it's not even funny. Ian Svenonious is a sad caricature of his former stage presence… that's pathetic. And this is coming from a big Make-Up and NOU fan.
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists were good, but I preferred his solo show at the backstage. I was impressed with the Deep Six.

i had a good time. ted's set was short, but i really wasn't expecting a marathon show, knowing his past vocal issues and considering it was near the end of the tour. also ted's facial expressions rule.
i had been wanting to see weird war even before i moved here after seeing the make-up in songs for cassevettes and laughing at ian's crazy explanation for his "little gospel group". sadly, there was no "rhythm hive". the few cool songs were overshadowed by stage banter that has a captain kirk delivery. pls go 3 words without pausing.

wow - I didn't realize he was the guy from Make Up and Nation of Ulysses. What the hell happened? I like both of those bands, but I couldn't take more than 2-3 songs from Weird War. We bailed and went downstairs for a while. They were terrible.
I agree that Deep Six was pretty good though.
